چکیده

Left bundle branch block (LBBB) usually occurs as a postoperative complication from surgical correction of congenital heart disease and can be associated with hypertensive heart disease, coronary artery disease, myocarditis, and aortic valvular disease. Although isolated LBBB is a conduction abnormality found in some healthy adults, it has not been reported in pediatric population. We report a 2-year-old, healthy African American female who was incidentally discovered to have isolated LBBB that has persisted in a follow-up of 3 years.

Lyme carditis with isolated left bundle branch block and myocarditis successfully treated with oral doxycycline

Lyme disease may present with a variety of cardiac manifestations ranging from first degree to third degree heart block. Cardiac involvement with Lyme disease may be asymptomatic, or symptomatic. Atrioventrical conduction abnormalities are the most common manifestation of Lyme carditis. Less common, are alternating right bundle branch block (RBBB) and left bundle branch block (LBBB). We present...

Left and Right Ventricular Volumes and Global Systolic Function in Isolated Left Bundle Branch Block: A Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study

Background Echocardiographic studies have shown a reduction in global left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (LVEF) in patients with isolated left bundle branch block (LBBB). This is likely due to altered electromechanical activation and resultant loss of septal contribution to LV systolic function. We sought to characterize LV volumes and global systolic function in adult subjects with an iso...

Intermittent complete left bundle-branch block: phonocardiographic and mechanocardiographic study of one case.

Since the work of Wolferth and Margolies (1935), the modifications of both the heart sounds and the sequence of ventricular events induced by left bundle-branch block have been well known. Yet there has been some disagreement on details, mainly because left bundle-branch block is seldom aft isolated abnormality. The opportunity was offered to record the heart sounds, the indirect carotid pulse,...

Exercise-Induced Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Tachycardia in a Patient with Isolated Left Ventricular Noncompaction

Isolated left ventricular noncompaction is a hereditary cardiomyopathy in which a variety of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias could be observed. We report a patient with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia with left bundle branch block morphology that had characteristics of an idiopathic ventricular tachycardia who was subsequently diagnosed as left ventricular noncompaction. S...

The differential impact of intraventricular and interventricular dyssynchrony on left ventricular remodeling and function in patients with isolated left bundle branch block

Interventricular dyssynchrony evaluated with cardiac magnetic resonance is an independent predictor of systolic dysfunction and left ventricular remodeling while intraventricular dyssynchrony is an independent predictor of LV diastolic dysfunction in patients with isolated LBBB. Comprehensive evaluation of both these parameters of dyssynchrony would be useful in selecting patients for cardiac r...
